Planet Hunters X: Searching for Nearby Neighbors of 75 Planet and Eclipsing Binary Candidates from the K2 Kepler Extended Mission
Joseph R. Schmitt, Andrei Tokovinin, Ji Wang +22
We present high-resolution observations of a sample of 75 K2 targets from Campaigns 1-3 using speckle interferometry on the Southern Astrophysical Research (SOAR) telescope and ada…
Planet Hunters. VIII. Characterization of 41 Long-Period Exoplanet Candidates from Kepler Archival Data
Ji Wang, Debra A. Fischer, Thomas Barclay +30
The census of exoplanets is incomplete for orbital distances larger than 1 AU. Here, we present 41 long-period planet candidates in 38 systems identified by Planet Hunters based on…
Planet Hunters VII. Discovery of a New Low-Mass, Low-Density Planet (PH3 c) Orbiting Kepler-289 with Mass Measurements of Two Additional Planets (PH3 b and d)
Joseph R. Schmitt, Eric Agol, Katherine M. Deck +18
We report the discovery of one newly confirmed planet ( days, ) and mass determinations of two previously validated Kepler planets, Kepler-…
Planet Hunters. VI: An Independent Characterization of KOI-351 and Several Long Period Planet Candidates from the Kepler Archival Data
Joseph R. Schmitt, Ji Wang, Debra A. Fischer +29
We report the discovery of 14 new transiting planet candidates in the Kepler field from the Planet Hunters citizen science program. None of these candidates overlapped with Kepler…
Planet Hunters. V. A Confirmed Jupiter-Size Planet in the Habitable Zone and 42 Planet Candidates from the Kepler Archive Data
Ji Wang, Debra A. Fischer, Thomas Barclay +18
We report the latest Planet Hunter results, including PH2 b, a Jupiter-size (R_PL = 10.12 \pm 0.56 R_E) planet orbiting in the habitable zone of a solar-type star. PH2 b was elevat…
Planet Hunters: A Transiting Circumbinary Planet in a Quadruple Star System
Megan E. Schwamb, Jerome A. Orosz, Joshua A. Carter +17
We report the discovery and confirmation of a transiting circumbinary planet (PH1b) around KIC 4862625, an eclipsing binary in the Kepler field. The planet was discovered by volunt…
Planet Hunters: New Kepler planet candidates from analysis of quarter 2
Chris J. Lintott, Megan E. Schwamb, Thomas Barclay +17
We present new planet candidates identified in NASA Kepler quarter two public release data by volunteers engaged in the Planet Hunters citizen science project. The two candidates p…
